Project in progress
A planned solar, battery-storage, and efficient-lighting system designed to illuminate Toledo's Glass City River Wall after dark while supporting education and responsible long-term operation.
Planned solar capacity
Modeled annual solar generation
Modeled annual GHG reduction
Mural surface
The mural is a prominent daytime landmark but currently disappears after sunset.
Illuminating a large working riverfront site requires far more than fixtures. The project must coordinate lighting, renewable generation, battery storage, land access, civil work, utility requirements, controls, and environmental considerations.
Elevated Energy is coordinating an approximately 200 kW ground-mounted solar system, battery storage, controllable high-efficiency lighting, and a planned public energy dashboard.
The work involves civic, industrial, engineering, and education partners and remains subject to final approved construction documents.
Once completed, the project is intended to extend the River Wall's visibility after dark while demonstrating locally connected clean-energy technology.
Generation, savings, and emissions figures remain modeled projections until commissioning.
The project connects public art with renewable energy, efficient lighting, education, tourism, and local industry.
Lighting controls are being designed to allow responsible operating schedules, including dimming or shutdown during sensitive migratory-bird periods.
A planned public dashboard will allow students and visitors to explore how the project produces, stores, and uses energy.
As of July 9, 2026, project drawings were being revised around the selected battery and inverter configuration.
LED equipment had been purchased, with City review and final civil and electrical coordination still ahead.
Final capacities and operating performance will be published after approved construction documents and commissioning are available.
